The place shaping up to be the country’s answer to Caribbean escapes is none other than Pedn Vounder beach. This idyllic spot grabbed attention on TikTok, thanks to a share by @carbisbayhotelandestate – representing the luxe Carbis Bay estate in St Ives, which boasts its own exclusive strand.
Lucky for beachgoers, the appealing stretch featured in the viral post welcomes the public. Perched on the Penwith peninsula’s southern tip, Pedn Vounder ticks all the boxes for an exotic beach experience without leaving UK territory.
For those tempted to check out Pedn Vounder, it’s worth noting a few key insights. The secluded beauty spot experiences the ebb and flow of tidal shifts – ensuring the beach area disappears under the waves at high tide.
Moreover, reaching this hidden coastal treasure requires traversing by boat or executing a “challenging climb” down some steep rocks due to its remote setting.
Pedn Vounder, a picturesque beach in Cornwall, is gaining popularity among naturists despite not being officially designated for nude sunbathing.
Visitors are warned with signs stating “naturists may be seen beyond this point” as they make their way down to the cove, which has become an unofficial spot for those who prefer to soak up the sun in the nude.
Explore Cornwall advises that the beach can get “very busy” during the summer and school holidays, suggesting an early visit before the children break up for summer.
The website also notes: “The beach is south-facing with high cliffs on either side so it gets the best sunshine in the middle of the day and is in the shade from late afternoon.”
Reviews from previous visitors to Pedn Vounder are overwhelmingly positive, with one Google review exclaiming: “Totally mind-blowing. What a fabulous colour of water, totally loved it.”
Another visitor was equally impressed, remarking: “The best and most amazing beach you can find in the UK. This place made us think we were in the Caribbean.”
A third satisfied tourist wrote: “Beautiful beach with azure blue water, nice sand, cliffs either side and plenty of space. Water was amazing to swim in.”
